One small step for fitness fans…

Back in the bad old days, people would weigh themselves using clonkity contraptions counter-balanced by boulders, pebbles and stegosaurus eggs. Okay, they didn’t, but we’ve been too busy playing with this revolutionary set of WiFi Bathroom Scales to research the history of weighing machines.

Ultra sleek, this tempered-glass and aluminium gizmo automatically records your weight, fat mass and BMI (body mass index) every time you step on it. But here’s the clever bit: it beams the info to your computer or iPhone over your WiFi connection, so you can track your results wherever you may roam via a password protected website or free iPhone app. You can even sync with Google Health and share your progress (or lack of) via email, Twitter or Facebook. Weigh-hay!

Step on and it sends the info to your online account via WiFi...

The WiFi Scale is also compatible with online coaching programs such as Daily Burn and iPhone apps like RunKeeper and WeightBot. You’ll be so busy monitoring your data you might even forget about those doughnuts in the cupboard. Result!

Ideal for dieters, gym bunnies, athletes or anyone remotely health conscious, the WiFi Scale is a doddle to use, and its accompanying online browser is rammed with handy features. Step on this wafer-thin slice of tech just once and in a matter of seconds your computer will know more about your body than you do. Faced with this easy-to-follow mountain of info you can’t help but be motivated to the max.

It’s not all about you though. This family-friendly gadget is capable of tracking and storing data for as many as eight users. And get this: it even knows who’s standing on it. No, really. It uses previously recorded data to identify each user. Uncanny or what.

Once you’ve logged into your account you can compare your stats with the ‘ideal’ figures for someone of your age and body type. You can also add notes about your fitness regime and what you’ve eaten each day. It’s as easy as…er, pie. Indeed, if this doesn’t put you on the road to rude health, nothing will. So what are you waiting for? Step on it!
